Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of
chassis. Make sure the locations of all the mounting holes for both the
motherboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both
plastic and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended
because they ground the motherboard to the chassis. Make sure the metal
standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.
Then use a screwdriver to
secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray. (*
Note
: some compo-
nents are very close to the mounting holes. Please take precautionary
measures to prevent damage done to these components when you install
the motherboard to the chassis.)
